Houdini crashed again with the same error when I added a Normal node and started playing with the slider.
I'm using a very underpowered, baseline Mac Mini from late 2012, which has the following specs: OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Processor: 2.5GHz Intel Core i5 Memory: 4GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB Edit: I started the tutorial I was following from scratch. The first crash happened after adding a Normal node to the graph.
Houdini Apprentice Version 14.0.291 (14.0.291) is crashing consistently when I try to open the attached file.
